Followed you over from Sandy, Wiltshire Man. You two have a great combination at Sammy Miller day out, thankyou . This bike I'd think I'd buy a Himalayan but can see a city rider may like the sportier more compact bike. "Hymi Hunter' made me laugh I thought Hunts Himalayans? Subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks mate from Jim in Western Australia.

Thanks for subscribing James....I'm editing my version of the Sammy Miller day at the moment...Hopefully on KZbin on friday...The CFMOTO MT 450's are flavour of the day over here at the mo...In my opinion i prefered the Hunter over the Himi 450..Its crying out to be a little scrambler..Good fun bike..Take care mate 👍

The more i see of these Voge bikes the more impressive they look and the amount of extras you get as standard for the price is pretty amazing. I agree a screen extender would be a must for the taller rider.

Lovely job Dickie, I shall use that waterproof grease next time I do mine. Funny how that bolt on your bike fouled the centre stand, it didn't do it on mine. Just got back from a lovely Himalayan bimble, the old 411 is running sweet now, better for low speed back roads and off road than the 452 I would say but the 452 is a better bike for the faster roads.
